THE scientlata tell ua that Crater
Lake waa formed by the collapse
of Mount Mazama. Indian legend
offers a different veralon.
Thla legend, which at leaat la more
romantically pleasing than tha ad
en title veralon. La related by Dr. Earl
W. Count, noted anthropologist and
a member of the faculty of San Jose
atate college.
Dr. Count, during the present aum
' mer.'hss been a member of the edu
cation and research staff at Crater
Lake. . .
S Spirit C
1 thla legend, fell In Iots with a
beautiful star. The star, however,
was remote, and like any other lover
he yearned to be near his loved one.
So he set off for the top of a high
mountain, thinking In that way to
get nearer his beloved, and In due
time he arrived, footsore and weary.
But he got his reward, for Ma star
sweetheart reached down her hands
to him and drew him up to her In
the aky.
IT WAS very, ve'ry high up In the
aky ' Indeed that she lifted him.
' for when he started back to earth
he fell for ten snows, gathering mo
mentum as he fell and alighting
updn a mountain top.
The crater la the hole that he made
when be struck the earth, and the
blue waters of the lake are the blood
that waa crushed out of his body by
the impact.
.
MAYBE the scientists know what
they are talking about, but
when It comes .to telling a pretty
story the Indians hsve It all over
them.
fHE Indians, Dr. Count ssys,
1 garded the lake as an awesome
spot, and believed that swimming In
Its cold .waters conferred upon the
swimmer a peculiar measure of
strength snd skill.
It lsnt hsrd e understand how
that belief grew up. The high eleva
tion, the clear air and the amazing
view do cause one to feel uplifted
and atrong and eager.
rILL Oatea heard of Dr. Count's
LA address, and the reference to
legends started him off which was
bit-of good luck, for he la an In
teresting talker when he gets started
"Do you know," he asked, "how
our custom of putting tombstones
over graves originated?
Back In .the dim beginnings of the
race, there was much superstitious
fesr. of ghosts. Bo they heaped stones
over the graves of the dead to keep
the ghosts from getting out.
We humsns are great sticklers for
precedent, whloh la a rather high
sounding word meaning doing things
as they have always been done be
fore, so we have gone on putting
stones over the graves of the dead.
rrHE custom of wearing mourning
got started In much the same
way. Mr. Gates ssys.
Mourners leaving the graves of the
departed were leery of what the ghost
might do to them, and sought to
throw him or "It;" whatever one
'calls a ghost-off the tracX-
So. If they were white, they smear
ed their faces snd bodies with char
coal, and If they were black with
chalk or light-colored earth, so that
the ghost wouldn't know them.
Thry didn't believe In taking any
chances that could be avoided.
WH
HITK people, you know, wear
black for mourning, and black
people have a havit of wearing white.
They don't know why they do It, ex
cept that It always has been done.
Precedent again.
YOU know, of course, of the sup
erstition about three light' from
a match.
That Is much more recent, accord
ing to Bill. It started during the
Boer war. Matches were scarce, and
British soldiers on outpost duty
wanted to make them go as far as
possible. So they handed the lighted
match around.
Boer sharpshooters, watching in
the darkness, spotted the course of
the flame and picked off about the
third lighter.
IVTKRE6TTNG, isn't It? and sheds
a lot of light on the way our
4 minds work. We dot a lot or things
in this world for no better reason
than that they always have been
dor that way.
That is why new Ideas hsve such
m bard time getting accepted.

Everglades Residents Flee
CORPUS CIIR1STI, Texas. Sept.
4. (AP) The first squall of the
troplral disturbance moving In
from the Gulf of Mexico struck
Corpus Chrlstl at 11:20 a. m to
day with a wind or as miles an
hour and a torrential rain which
lasted fire minutes.
Authorities quickly moved
ninny residents under a Huge
bluff for safety. The whistle of
the Central Power and Light
company was blown every 10 sec
onds to aid In spreading the
alarm.
By the Associated Press
One hurricane smote Florida today
snd another shrieked toward Texas
after killing more than 100 people
In Cuba and Injuring thoussnds.
Prom lowland homes In the Ever
glades, residents fled by the hun
dreds, fearful of floods In the wake
of the winds. A 75-mlle strip of
Florida coast north of West Palm
Beach lay lost to the world, all com
munications slashed.
Worst of Season
The storm that roared out of the
Caribbean and apparently was due to
hit Texas today was called the most
devsstatlng of the season, one thst
tew ships could withstand. It sent
cratt scurrying to port,
As Cuba aurveyed the wreckage '.t
inflicted, the government at Havana
sought to mobilize quick relief for
the 100.000 estimated to be home
less. Thousands were described as
facing starvation in Cardenas, ap
parently the hardest hit. Interior
Secretsry Laredo Bru said he would
despatch truckloads of rice, beef and
other food there today.
Million In Path
The two storms were headed across
American territory Inhabited by per-
hapa a million persons. Warnings
of dangerous winds' went"ufTObrrg'
most of Florida's east coast and
practically the whole coast of Tex
as.
At least 800 persons left their
homes In the Everglades region
around Lake Okeechobee and fled in
trains and trucks. Within the sil
ent area north of West Palm Beach
lie Fort Stuart and Port Pierce. In
other sections darkness and driving
rain thwarted sttempts to survey the
damage. The storm was said to have
roared Inland north of West Pslm
Beach.
Ships In Distress
In the Oulf of Mexico three coast
guard boats fought their way out of
Paacngoula, Miss., toward the steam
er -Northern Sword, reported crippled
with 23 men aboard.
Along the Texas coast, where ship
ping lay paralyzed, an exodus from
coastal towns began. Half of the
JW0 residents of Port Arkanssa
Mtistsng Island fled and the others
battened down for a blow.
The storm that was smiting Flor
ida had swept the northern Bahsmas
yesterday. There was only alight
damage at Nassau but a 123 -mile
wind inflicted terrible damage at
Harbour Island, unroofing public
buildings, churches and small houses
Wharves were wrecked and the gov
ernment wireless blown down. Some
boats were reported lost. No fatal
ities were announced, but no news
came from some of the islands In the

HITLER SCOFFS AT
EQUALITY IDEAL
NUREMBERG, Germany, Sept. 4
(UP) Chancellor Adolf Hitler, in his
speech to the final session of the
nazl convention, flatly denied the
theory of democracy that men are
created free and equal.
"Between the lowest and highest
human races." Hitler aald, "there la
a wider gap than between the lowest
human being and the highest order
of ape.
He declared the world was paroled
today with a conglomeration -uf races
but Insisted that each had distinct
and different capacities and traits.
He developed these points In defense
of his theory of "purifying" the Oer
man race of all Jewish or other non
Aryan traces, declaring the differ
ence in races "sometimes is enor
mous."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. Washing
ton and points south, north and west

progress of national business progress.
Each etcher of Industrial out-curves
and In -drops has his own system. If
the other fellow doesn't produce a
corresponding seismograph recording
It's obVlous he graduated from the in
sane asylum.
With this Introduction we present
the findings and forecasts of a man
who establishes future trends for one
of the nation's biggest corporations. .
Just prior to last Novembers presi
dential election, our own personal
zlg-Eagger correctly called the turn
on conditions generally clear through
last May. If he's wrong this time his
corporation will lose a lot of money
and hell lose his Job..
To begin with he thinks, and la
so advising hit company, that It will
have to swim along with President
Roosevelt and NRA regardless of the
financial sacrifice. If everybody
doesn't do likewise, he predicts, the
bottom drops out.
Primarily this advice la based on
conviction the world Is going through
the greatest economic upheaval it
has experienced In 300 year nr more.
The founding of the Bank of England

1800. Came the war of 1812 and the
Civil War. Each conflict,- through
necessary inflation, raised a mountain
peak on the chart and at 60-year in
tervals formed a valley at normal.
But with the World War the waver
ing black line made an altitude rec
ord Into the stratosphere. It returned
slowly to a point well above the base
line In 1921 and then moved horizon-
tally across the sheet until 1029 when
the great depression struck.
Instead of performing the oO-year
function of history and scooting along
on bedrock before upturning again,
our line plunged steadily down to
nether regions never before explored
and in 1032 was as far below the base
line as the mountains of Inflation had
registered previously on the other
side.
In the early months of this year an
upturn started. Inspired largely by
Mr. Roosevelt's election and Inaugura
tion, His emergency program kept It
on the ascendancy until a month ago
when It sagged very slightly with
prospects of returning next month.

A young rattlesnake, about a
foot long, was found In the back
yard of the Oerald Barr residence.
1234 North Riverside this morn
ing, according to "Jerry" who is
still thrilling from the experience.
Thinking the small snake was a
garter snake. "Jerry" started to
pick It up, when It hoisted a email
tail and did 1U best to rattle its
buttons.
The Barr dogs, however, were
more cautious, being content to
bark at It while keeping a safe
distance away.
When the rattling betrayed the
snake's true character. Barr dis
posed of It with a atlck. The
size of the snake, and the finding
of holes In the lawn, lead Barr to
believe there are more of them

Linked today as a chapter in the

heads of the Austrian and German
governments about war and military

Said Chancellor Hitler of Germany:
"The world must not think we have

a nasi convention In Nurnberg after
110,000 picked storm troopers had pa
raded before htm.
Chancellor Dolfuaa of Austria said
one. of his most Important achieve
merits waa the plan for increasing the
nation's army from 33.000 to 30,000,
and he urged young men to Join., the
army.
Foreign Minister Paul-Boncour or
France repeated his nation's determi

enough to resist attempt at violence.
He mentioned Premier Daladler's
visit to a new French chain of de

"fitting response to attitudes of which
the least one can say Is that they
trouble profoundly the atmosphere
of peace."

BIG BAY, Mich.. Sept. 4. (AP)
Whatever may be Henry Fords' plana
for compliance, or non-compliance,
with the national automobile code,
the motor magnate apparently Is not
going to let them Interfere with the
vacation he and his wife are enjoy
ing In their Huron mountain retreat,
far from a telephone or telegraph of
fice. With the deadline for acceptance of
the code less thatl 24 hours away,
there were no Indications that Mr.
Ford planned an early return to De
troit. In fact, the best Information
available was that he would remain
In his 18-room -"cabin", until Friday
or Saturday. ' .
No Peace Signs '
Neither was there an Indication
that he was taking steps to compose
his differences with promulgators
snd administrators of the automotive
code and the national recovery act.
Those differences pivot about the
provisions for oollectlve bargaining
with workers and the Tight of the
board administrating the code to in
spect the books of signatory com
panies. Ford objects to letting competitors
view the inside workings of the close
corporation which he fathered and
dominates.
The Information that Ford would
not return to Detroit until the last
of the week waa In sharp contradic
tion to current report that he was
planning a quick return trip today,
either by special train or by plane
May Boost Wages
It waa generally accepted that his
plana in connection with the NRA
movement called either for compli
ance or for a vigorous counter-offen
sive possibly a return to the fam
ous 5 a day minimum wage which
brough him world-wide acclaim some
yeara back. The minimum wans has
since been reduced to m iot
eight hour day.
Already he has announced a mini
mum wage of AO cents an hour, eight
hours a day and five days a week
and compared that scale with the
35-hour-week and the 36-cents-an-hour
minimum prescribed by the
code for the Detroit area.
He also announced choosing the
day when Detroit was celebrating re
employment attributed to the NRA
that between 3,000 and 4,000 form
er employes are being called back to
his Detroit plants. The present em
ployment figure In the Ford plants
was estimated at 42,000.
Police barred all persona from the
field where the limbs were found
while search was made there for
other parts of the body.
Detectlvea of the homicide aqusd.
however, expressed the opinion thst
the slayer probably hid the head
and torso In other parte of the city.
and a widespread search of vacant
lota and buildings waa ordered.
- The arms had been cut off at the
shoulders and the legs at ths knees.
The hsnda showed signs of excel
lent care, and the nails recently bad
been manicured.
Dr. Knobloch ssJd he believed the
woman had been dead not more than
41 hours when the limbs were found
snd thst the amputations were made
within 34 hours of death.

BENTLEY, PRINGLE
L BATTLE
Ashland Star Defeats Clark
in Sparkling Round to
Enter Finals Last Round
Starts at 2 P. M. Today
Prlngle was two up on Bentlry
as the finalists In the Southern
Oregon golf tourney plodded to
the 13th green Just before noon
today In the morning round of
their 36-hole match. They will
resume play at p. m.
The new golf champion of southorn
Oregon will be either H. B. Bontley
of Ashland, or W. H. (Hank) Prlngle
of Medford. These two winners of
the semi-finals yesterday are battling
It out for the coveted trophy over 36
holea today. The afternoon round
will start at 3 p. m.
Bentley ruled the favorite, aa ha
teed off at ten o'clock this morning.'
For yesterday he pulled what Is per
hapa the finest brand of golf ever
seen In the local tournament.
Don Clark, one of the best msshle
wlelders In the Medford club was bis
opponent. But from the start, Don
had no more chance against the Ash-
Isnd stsr than a chunk of Ice In a'
blast furnace.
Bentley wss bot. In fact he sizzled.
And he hsd an aggressive, "do It
now" attitude, that from the first
tee. convinced the Clark supporters
In the gallery that It was all over but
the ahoutlng.
Perfect Clolf
Bontley didn't shoot goort'golf. He
shot perfect golf. He only needed to
play 11 holes, to dispose of his hard
fighting but powerlesa opponent, and
every hole was a par with two ex
ceptions. The two exceptions were birdies!
And with the last birdie the match
ended. eight up and seven to go.
A terrlflo beating for the chairman
of the club tournament committee,
but any amateur golfer In southern
Oregon would hsve met a similar'
fate. Bentley was simply Invincible'
unbeatable. It was only a question ,
or what the score would be.
Holes Alashie Shot 1
That Inst hole, the 1 1th, was char-1
acterlstlo of the entire match. Bent--
ley sent a screamer from the tee. far
down on the hill, only a abort pitch
to the green. Clark followed with a
nice tee shot, about 30 yards shorter.
